WordCamp is only 2 days away! We thought of giving a reminder of the location and how to get there.

WordCamp Finland 2016 will be held at Virgin Oil in the center of Helsinki.

Address is Kaivopiha, Mannerheimintie 5, which is within about 3 minutes walk from Helsinki central railway station and 10 minutes from Kamppi bus station. Also trams 2, 3, 4, 6, 7A. 7B, 9, and 10 stop near the venue.

The after-party will be held at O’Learys Bakers Bar on Mannerheimintie 12, which is within about 5 minutes walk from Virgin Oil.

Helsinki journey planner or Google Maps services can both help in finding out how to get around with public transportation in Helsinki.

Parking options nearby: Q-Park Stockmann,  P-CityForum Europark, P-Kamppi Europark.
Centralized Helsinki taxi services: TAXIHELSINKI. Please note, Uber does not officially operate in Finland.

The afterparty for WordCamp Finland will be held at O’Learys Bakers Bar on Mannerheimintie 12 on Friday 15th April from 19:30 (7.30 pm) on. The place is within 5 minutes walk from Virgin Oil, where the conference day is held.

You can leave your coats and bags at the coat service upstairs.

Drink tickets will be given on arrival. You can exchange them for a special WordCamp Finland drink called Vihta, or choose from a list of other options including sodas, cider, wine and beer.

Bakers will be open until early morning, but the private event will end around 22:00 (10 pm). After that doors will open to the public.

This will be a great opportunity for you to meet some of the local WordPress communities from Finland and get a chance to share your experiences from the conference.

We hope to see you there and remember to bring your badges!
